Antenna

The Antenna displays the following functions:
  • Power Level (dBm)
    - Displays the current selection and a text box for available power levels (as reported by the device). The default setting is 27.0 dBm (shown as 270; the value displayed is in units of tens of dBm). Japan units are set to a different default power level depending on the SKU type. The minimum power level when DPO is enabled is 3.1 dBm. When DPO is disabled, the minimum power level is 0 dBm.
  • Link Profile
    - Displays the current selection and includes a drop-down list of available link profiles (reported by the device). Link Profile display format is as follows: Return link bit data rate in bits per second (for example 60000 -> 60 Kbs); Miller Value (for example MV_4 -> Miller 4); thus profile name M4 240K (240K becomes BLF) modulation type (PR ASK is the only one supported).
  • PIE
    value has no units and is either 1500 or 2000 minimum.
  • Tari
    applicable Tari value in thousands of microseconds (for example, 6250 -> 6.25 microseconds).
By default, the fastest read profile is selected, and the reader is configured for the maximum power level allowed based on that profile. However, the dBm can be limited due to the regulatory requirements of the specified region in which the sled is being used.
